Destroyed the capacity, or destroyed the will to reason?
I don't know which, but something is definitely destroyed.
Back in the days when we were arguing over whether O'bama or Hillary was the more formidable opponent, I was afraid that O'bama was a blank slate that anybody and everybody would write their own message on, and then claim that "he thinks just like me!".
It's bloody hero worship, and it's nothing new, but it may be the most severe case ever.
A bullet is coming, folks. Let's hope we can dodge it.
is tailor-made-- here's a random pull from my files:
( So, how did the photographer take this shot? From a foxhole? Down in a ditch? Enquiring Minds want to know... )
America- and Americans-- are in danger of getting all the Hopiness and Changiness they deserve, "good & hard..."
America can probably survive another corrupt, empty politician as President- what I fear we can't survive is an increasingly shallow, naive, and gullible electorate.
Obama is Mugabe: the final retreat into tribalist social collapse, a reversion to primitivism.
Civilization itself will end with this freak.
"Bring us together." It all depends upon what the meaning of us is.
Let's stick with the adult version of the man and his (mostly bad) policy proposals.
One thing to keep in mind about the whole Obama worship thing is that half of the Democrats voted against him. If half the Democrats were able to resist the charms of The Empty Suit, I think most everyone else will too.
I don't see the circumstances of his childhood education as being "unimportant" to who he is today.
ESPECIALLY given that those educators were and are virulently anti-American, and anti-white.
Is a person able to shake those things off and be a different person? Of course.
Has O'bama done so? We don't really know, do we? The evidence is flimsy.
Those are interesting photoshop ideas, but they are looking rather routine and hardly ‘random’ at all. Perhaps you might alter your headline for them.
I wish I were as optimistic as that. That half voted not so much against O'bama, as in favor of their own flavor of Marxist.
True, they resisted his snake oil for a time, but he's still selling it.
This statement does not make sense to me. Democrats and other leftists, Facists, Communists, and socialists clearly have disordered minds. They thus have NO capacity for reason to start with. They are dreamers who want to force the rest of us to conform to their warped and twisted view of the world. They are succeeding.
Bill Clinton, and to a lesser extent Jimmy Carter, were beneficiaries of the hero-worship.
O'bama is the perfect storm, though. In addition to the plain old vanilla hero worship, he's got the politically-correct crowd on his side. Being black, and maybe Muslim, just adds to the attraction.
I believe not only will we dodge the bullet but the same media that is now pushing him as a savior will in the end turn on him.
Look at how the media is now beginning to admit that Iraq has indeed turned around and we are succeeding. They have been forced to do this because they can no longer control the news others are getting. They were looking more and more foolish, sort of like a man standing in the sunshine trying to convince everyone it is raining.
As Hussein is defined and more and more about him reaches more and more people, via the “alternate media”, the questions being asked about him will no longer be able to be ignored. In order to maintain what little is left of their credibility the liberal media will be forced to address these issues. Doing so will heighten the awareness of most Americans and cause them to look past the rhetoric and glitz to the core of what this phony is really all about.
As has always been the case when it comes to the left, shining the light of truth on them has the same effect as turning on a light in a Cockroach infested room. It will send them running for cover.
Then again Camille Paglia does belong to that class of women who choose to strap a dildo around themselves and pretend like they are a man so how level headed can she really be.
Carter, Clinton and Hussein types (liberals) appeal to the extremely weak who are looking for a “Daddy” to take care of all their needs forever so they won’t ever have to worry about what is happening in the big bad world.
Well, sure - they turn on anybody and everybody.
The big question is when is "the end" that you speak of?
Is it Nov. 3, or Nov. 5?
It makes a difference.
The trouble is that they also CREATE such people.
The DBM/dems are willfully ignorant because they know they can not forward their agenda based on facts. Anyone who would votes for a man just because he's black, hates Bush, knowing his background of an anti-America racist, and the illassociates Obama has been connected too, is doing nothing more than suspending all logic and reason. They are grasping onto their selfish natures just trying to gain a little power.
The only thing you could ever do to convince people like this is keep FORCING fact and truth in their face. However, people who don't care about truth are the bane of society and will destroy it faster then lightning.
You have to "fight" to win over these people's willfull ignorance and selfish natures. You have too, in order to win, get it conservatives??
>>Destroyed the capacity, or destroyed the will to reason?
I’d maintain that many caught up in Obamania never had it, and many of them never will.
>>>an increasingly shallow, naive, and gullible electorate.
Do we have a choice???
